This update doesn't just tweak the tech—it's about making Hornet's pilgrimage feel more fluid. If you've been battling input lag or missing that haptic feedback during silk-weaving dodges, the new system integrates better with a range of controllers, letting you navigate the interconnected ruins and mysteries with precision that matches the game's demanding platforming.
Localization and Lore Tweaks
Team Cherry incorporated a fan-sourced Simplified Chinese translation from Team Cart Fix, ensuring players in that region can fully immerse in Hornet's ascent without awkward phrasing pulling them out of the fantasy. It's a nod to the community's passion, weaving global threads into the game's narrative fabric.
What Key Bugs Got Fixed in This Patch?
Several glitches that disrupted Hornet's journey are gone: issues with her plasmified state vanishing prematurely, couriers failing to deliver crests, and bosses like those vulnerable to Harpoon getting stuck. Item fixes, such as the Fractured Mask now properly applying its effects, mean your builds stay consistent as you uncover the kingdom's secrets.
How Do the Balance Changes Affect Combat?
Balance adjustments refine combat depth—the Wreath of Purity gains more durability for prolonged fights, while Multibinder and Thread Storm see damage tweaks that encourage varied strategies against the kingdom's foes. Rune Rage scaling changes could shift how you approach aggressive builds during your deadly pilgrimage.
These fixes and enhancements keep Hollow Knight: Silksong's world-building intact, letting you focus on forging Hornet's path without technical hiccups. Dive back in and see how it reshapes your exploration.
